I am not sure how you got to the backwards behavior, perhaps you have no deleted what you thought you deleted.
I would run your rsync command this way though (adjust your options as needed), mind the / rsync -a --progress .... /media/jjj/Movies /media/jjj/Synology/ Hope it helps, Tomas On Nov 29, 2017 11:04 PM, "John Jason Jordan" <joh...@gmx.com> wrote: I have an external USB drive that I back up to a Synology NAS drive with the command: rsync -rptog --progress --stats --delete --exclude-from=/media/jjj/Movies/rsync_exclusions /media/jjj/Movies/ /media/jjj/Synology The object is to make the Synology a mirror of the USB drive (/media/jjj/Movies). I deleted a folder on the USB drive, ran the command, and the folder was replaced on the USB drive. This is backwards.
